all I can say is when you all that bash walk a mile in the shoes of the men you like to bash so hard then talk.... Oh wait you dont here that one owner had a green captain that came in about 100 pounds over on monk tail one day on a new bout... Here is the important part.. OWNER CAPTAIN AND BOAT NEVER I MEAN NEVER HAD AN OVER QUOTA INFRACYION THE OWNER HAS BEEN FISHING FOR BETTER THAN 30 YEARS.... You dont hear this part first things first 30 day tie up boat and captain.. hmm month outta work .. that hurts.. part 2 5 DAYS AT SEA.. Ok that is a death nail once your landings are off you lose those days permanately... oh and they get 28 a year to start with.. part 3 200k fine yea thats 200,000 hmm and yall think you get hit for speeding to work in am after a long night...now the fine was levied down to 75k the days not lost and the 30 day stayed in affect.. Only took 2 years and god knows how much in lawyers fees.. Im sorry but yall watch a show and get this bashing going.. First chompers is an idiot.. the shark was not kept maybe cause of permits.. The gaffing it... well hey it is what it is.. I doubt any one n this forum is christ like or virgin of sin in fishing... You have no idea what ist like to do this in most cases, its not an easy beer drinking life style its hard work and a hard life.. I know first hand lobstered and long lined.. When your in 25+ foot seas on a 50 foot boat yea life is great... people get freaked out about 5 foot swells in their 33 foot cc ha!... sorry guys I do not care what any one thinks If you dont live it dont bash it... Yea my family has been in commercial fishing for many generations and is now getting sqeezed in a stranglehold by the NMFA and its regs and cutbacks... I dont think if any of you were looking at working 14 days a year and that was all that was allowed you would be impressed either... And as far as the fisheries between the block and mainland... I know first hand what that was about... My family is there and has been since day one... sorry I went on this rant but......
